Cordaid has worked in Senegal for decades. Our focus areas there were food security, sustainable livelihoods, market systems, digitalisation, youth employment, and inclusive finance for youth and women.
We have phased out our activities in Senegal and are currently not implementing any projects in the country.
44,650 farmers received access to certified seeds and fertilizers (2021)
75 young entrepreneurs supported with credit and training in digital financial services (2021)
31 farms equipped with solar systems (2021)
Food systems
We improved access to finance and markets for smallholder farmers. We worked with farmer organisations and other stakeholders to strengthen value chains. This allows farmers to access finance, markets, inputs, and agricultural skills training.
We worked with companies providing new technology solutions and we had a partnership with a crowdfunding platform that is financing producer organisations and farmers to improve their businesses.
We promoted climate-resilient agricultural practices and supported solutions that reduce and mitigate climate change effects.
We implemented our programmes in 11 regions: Thiès, Louga, Saint Louis, Matam, Kaolack, Diourbel, Fatick, Kaffrine, Tambacounda, Kolda and Sédhiou.
In Senegal, Cordaid’s partners included RESOPP, Xam Sa Mbay, Jokalante, Caurie Microfinance, FNDASP, Bayseddo, FAPAL, MEC FADEC NDIAMBUR, ANPJ, Zeina Fruits, SODISEM, Eléphant vert, Tropicasem, PEG Africa, IBRIZ, Bonergie, Bay Seddo.
